Today, there was more water dumped on my neighborhood during T.S. Fay, than any time since I moved here in the early 1970’s. After the storm, the swamp had expanded in size and the road was bubbling. There is a video file (quicktime) attached to this file as a video podcast.

There were dozens of these down the road. Was it water draining? A spring that sprung? bubbles from displaced air (howii’s idea).

    Could be a sinkhole forming. Wonder what’s 50′ below the road.

    Yeah. That thought did occur to me. When I started poking at one of the little bubbling places with my snake stick, I found a bit of a void.
